Chapter 45 Forty-fifth Chapter Beauty for Beauty

Mrs. Wan said: "Then they secretly followed your path, as soon as someone said a word to you, they immediately arrested that person and tortured him." Baoyu sighed: "It turned out to be them. No wonder the swordsmanship is so sharp... No wonder they made a lot of effort! I should have guessed it was them." Mrs. Wan said: "My old man was wondering how these old immortals would do such a thing. Later I found out that they were just afraid that this trip would fail and that no one would deal with the white-clothed man, so they wanted to be the first to catch up. Go to the White Water Palace. In fact, it’s just a few old wastes like them. Wouldn’t it be better to rush there first?”

Baoyu said sadly: "These old people really love and protect me. The benevolence and righteousness of the heroes of the elders in the Jianghu are really beyond the reach of the younger generations." Mrs. Wan said with a sneer: "The patriarch of the majestic sect, but he does such a thing that hides his head and shows his tail. What's the point of showing his face, especially the old miscellaneous hair of Iron Beard, who will not change his temper. He will come up with any bad idea." Baoyu was afraid that she would say something worse, so he hurriedly said, "What happened next?"

Mrs. Wan said: "I followed here and saw that they really took the lead. You idiot can only stop here, so my old man can only give pointers to you." Baoyu wondered, "So you...you..." Mrs. Wan sneered and said, "You little idiot, do you just think that my old man wants to stop you from going to White Water Palace? Hey! You are very wrong, my old man is only afraid that you will not be able to go to White Water Palace." She paused, then continued: "But if my old man advises you by himself, not only will it be a lot of trouble, but you may not believe it. My old man was hesitating, and I just happened to meet this unlucky ghost named Li Mingsheng."

Li Mingsheng smiled and said: "That's the truth. She forced me to tell you where to go, but she didn't know that I was going to tell you this...Although I lied to you, it was out of good intentions." Mrs. Wan said with a sneer: "My old man didn't mean it out of good intentions. My old man just thinks that since this little idiot is going to the White Water Palace to die, let him go quickly!" Baoyu sighed: "The wonders of the world are really hard for people to conceive." Mrs. Wan said: "Also, I might as well tell you again, Niang Shui has already calculated that you are going to Baishui Palace, and she is already waiting for you."

Baoyu murmured, "Okay...okay..." He seemed to have become a little crazy, because none of these successive events were beyond his expectation, and none of them were beyond his guess. The little princess suddenly sneered and said, "Fang Baoyu, let me tell you, although you are not as stupid as you pretend, you are not as smart as you think you are. There are some things in the world that you will never guess." She took a breath and said loudly, "Because you are also a human being, not a god!" Baoyu said: "Yes, human wisdom is extremely limited..." Suddenly there was another coquettish voice coming in from outside the door: "The guest is here... The guest is here..."

The emerald green osprey flew into the thatched cottage again, and couldn't help crying: "The guest is here... The guest is here..." Some of the girls greeted them with coquettish smiles, as if they were not surprised at all. But Baoyu and the others were not surprised and said: "Looking at them, it seems that there are often guests here. But how can there be frequent guests in such a hidden place?" They naturally wanted to see who the guests were. But Mrs. Wang laughed and said: "There is an elegant room in the back. I wonder if Fang Shaoxia would like to go in and sit down? Wait for me to socialize with these vulgar guests, and then come to talk with Shaoxia."

Under such circumstances, how could Baoyu say "no". So the little princess and Mrs. Wan had no choice but to follow him in. Behind - a small room is really elegant. There are two young girls waiting attentively on the side - most of their attentiveness and sweetness are naturally sent to Fang Baoyu. There were bursts of silver bell-like laughter coming from outside the door.A rough voice suddenly appeared in the silver bell-like laughter, saying: "Aunt Wang, I never thought I would bring so many people here today... Haha! Let me tell you, these few people are not ordinary characters. "

Then Aunt Wang laughed and said, "Hey! Who are these people?" The man laughed loudly and said: "I tell you, you really have to thank me, I really brought you good business, and if I tell you the names of these people, I'm afraid it will damage your white and tender ears." Aunt Wang laughed and said, "I'm not afraid, just tell me!" Although the girls' laughter was charming, Baoyu was not tempted, but only the man's rough voice really aroused Baoyu's curiosity. The voice sounded very familiar. Baoyu was waiting to listen attentively to what he said, but a young girl grabbed his sleeve and said with a coquettish smile, "What's so good about the words outside, you'd better listen to me sing a folk song!"

She didn't know when she had an extra sandalwood board in her hand, and now she clapped the board and started singing. "You are an enemy, you are a betrayer, you are a ruthless little iron nail, nailed into the heart of my slave, inch by inch..." The burly man outside also laughed loudly: "This is... this is Shuishang... this is the number one hero in Sanxiang... this is famous in Jiujiang... this is..." Although Baoyu pricked up his ears to listen to the man's words, he couldn't hear anything clearly because the girl's high-pitched and thin singing sounded straight into his ears.

The little princess smiled coldly, and looked at Baoyu coldly, her eyes seemed to say: "He wants to sing, what can you do with him?" Baoyu really has no choice.He is not afraid of people being cruel and cruel to him, he is only afraid that they will treat him well and entangle him so much that he cannot escape. When the girl finally finished singing, she laughed again: "I finished singing, my sister will sing another one, sister, you..." Mrs. Wan suddenly said: "Little girl, you sing so well, my old lady will reward you with a big red fruit." She had already held two oranges in her hand, and at this moment she jumped up suddenly, and with a blow like the wind, she stuffed the two oranges with their skins into the mouths of the two girls.

The two girls couldn't dodge in time, two oranges with skins were stuffed into their mouths, they couldn't breathe, they couldn't sing. The two were eager to reach out and take it out. Mrs. Wan's face was serious, and she said sharply: "Little girl, if you two don't give me face, if you want to take out the oranges, my old man will stuff you with horse dung." Although her tricks can't scare others, it is more than enough to scare these two young girls who have no experience in the world, and they really dare not move. Mrs. Wan smiled and said: "Yes, this is a good boy, you two can eat slowly...Fang Baoyu, you can also listen slowly." She sat down swaggeringly, and started to eat again . Baoyu secretly smiled and said, "Sure enough, I have a hand." Now walk to the door and listen with peace of mind. Aunt Wang laughed and said, "Hey! Sure enough, they are all great heroes! What kind of wind is it today that blows all these heroes who are stomping and trembling all over the city to me." A shrill voice said with a smile: "We have also heard that there are so many beautiful women in the Fragrant Cave of Aunt Wang's place. We have long wanted to come and see them, but it's a pity that we can't find them." The other one said with a broken voice, "If Brother Xiong didn't know the way today, we still wouldn't be able to find the way to this gentle town." The rough voice laughed and said: "I saw you guys were downcast and listless, so I kindly brought you here to see and see. How dare you call me an old horse?" Amidst the roar of laughter, the broken voice said again: "Brother Lu, you are happy too, don't disappoint Boss Xiong's good intentions." A young man said with a wry smile, "How can I be happy, little brother?" The rough voice said: "Brother Lu, you are wrong. A man should be able to mention it and let it go. Although we have a small tussle, we have not suffered." The broken voice said: "Yes! Besides, this matter has long passed, let's cheer up and have fun. Whichever girl you fancy, we will let you." The boy said: "Little brother...Little brother..." The rough voice said: "Don't be mother-in-law, choose one... Okay, you see, who is Brother Lu's eyes secretly looking at, come on, this one." Mrs. Wang said: "Hey! This Mr. Lu has a really good eye. He fell in love with this treasure right away, but I can't just give this treasure to others." The rough voice laughed and said: "I already knew that you, an old fox, would take the opportunity to knock on the silk, good! Tell me what you want, our brother Lu is not a stingy person." Aunt Wang said: "Well! This... let the girl talk about it!" The broken voice laughed loudly: "Baby, just say it!" The girls laughed coquettishly, then Aunt Wang said: "My darling said that she doesn't want anything, as long as Mr. Lu passes on to her the 'serial forty-eight spears' of Wei Zhen Jianghu." The rough man clapped his hands and laughed, "Easy, easy, this is easy..." Hearing this, Baoyu's face changed slightly. The little princess also came to him and said, "Have you ever heard who these people are?" Baoyu sighed: "This Mr. Lu is Lu Yun, the 'BMW sharpshooter'." The little princess said, "Is that the one who fought against you for the first time at Dongting Lake?" Baoyu said: "Exactly. The boss bear is Xiaogushan's 'multi-armed bear' Xiong Xiong. He has more than ten kinds of hidden weapons in his body, and he can shoot eight kinds of weapons in succession with both hands." The little princess said: "That broken voice?" Baoyu said: "Jiujiang's half-day cloud' Shan Yicheng." The little princess said: "And..." Baoyu said: "The other person is 'Macheng' Sun Yulong." Mrs. Wan suddenly interjected: "Since these four people are here, 'Wuchang' Kuang Xinsheng, 'Nanchang' Gao Guanying, and 'Qimen' Zhao Jianming must have come too?" Baoyu sighed, "I think so." The little princess said: "Aren't these people all defeated by your subordinates?" Baoyu said: "It is true that these people have fought against me, but somehow they disappeared together. I don't want to show up here today. It is really beyond my expectation." The little princess blinked and smiled: "They said it to relieve their boredom. They must have suffered a lot these days, but...but who made them angry, do you know?" Baoyu sneered and said, "Fire Demon God." Mrs. Wan suddenly laughed again: "I'm still doing business as Mrs. Wang, so I opened a secret door here... It's ridiculous that Li Mingsheng is here to be a tortoise. It's a good material for him to be a tortoise. .” Although her words were indecent, they really hit the nail on the head! The little princess frowned and said, "What is a secret door?" Mrs. Wan smiled and said: "My good princess, the secret door is the brothel, that is..." The little princess blushed, and said: "Puh! I understand, don't say any more." Mrs. Wan said: "To be honest, her brothel is a bit different from others. She doesn't want other people's money, but wants others to teach martial arts." Baoyu sighed: "No wonder Aunt Wang is so advanced in martial arts! Over the years, she must have learned a lot of other people's secret skills... She must have a lot of schemes in doing this." The little princess said: "Take the martial arts I have learned so hard, and come here to exchange... for... 啐! There are so many idiots in the world, it is really strange." Mrs. Wan said: "What's the blame? Martial arts are something outside of the body, but they can be exchanged for the living body of a big girl. If it were my wife, I would be willing too!" The little princess said: "But this place is so secret..." Mrs. Wan interrupted: "You don't understand this again. The more mysterious and tempting she is, the more savage characters will come... After all, Aunt Wang is indeed a fox." Although the two girls had already quietly pulled out the oranges from their mouths, they blushed and lowered their heads, not daring to speak, and only peeking secretly with their big eyes. Baoyu also bowed his head in thought. The little princess said: "You are tempted, and you also want to..." Before he finished speaking, Baoyu rushed out suddenly. The flower hall outside is really lively at the moment. Although Aunt Wang was still leaning on the bed, she smiled even more happily. Two young girls were sitting on the laps of a big man. This big man was dressed in brocade clothes, with bushy eyebrows and eyes, and the palm of the girl's slender waist was twice as big as that of ordinary people. This person is the "multi-armed bear" Xiong Xiong, a famous master of hidden weapons in Gushan. There was another person sitting there, who was also a head taller than ordinary people, but his head was half smaller than others, and a pair of small eyes were staring at the girl in his arms bewitchingly. This person is Jiujiang's "half-day cloud" Shan Yicheng. The other person was thin and thin, with piercing eyes, whispering to the girl next to him, and he didn't know what to say, but the girl giggled when he said it. This person is Sun Yulong, "Macheng" who is a wise multi-star in Jianghu. In addition, the one with big head and short body is "Wuchang" Kuang Xinsheng. The one with a sallow complexion and a serious smile is "Qimen" Zhao Jianming. The youngest one with a baby face is "Nanchang" Gao Guanying. And the most handsome one is Lu Yun, the number one hero in Sanxiang, "BMW Sharpshooter". Except for Yu Chuanjia, all the missing people were indeed here. Lu Yun sat there blushing, the girl beside him was the most delicate and charming, but he just sat there blushing, not daring to move. Instead, the girl kept teasing him, and said with a coquettish smile: "Mr. Lu, let's go in, so as not to be laughed at by others." But Lu Yun refused to stand up to death. The "multi-armed bear" Xiong Xiong's giant palms almost crushed the waists of the two girls. The girls twisted their waists, bit their lips, giggled, and cursed softly. But Xiong Xiong said with a smile: "Brother Lu, just go in, what are you afraid of, people won't eat you! Haha, even if you eat, you will spit it out." The girl laughed and spat: "Death, a dog can't spit out ivory." Shan Yicheng laughed and said, "Of course he can't spit out ivory, but he can spit out..." The girl said coquettishly: "What can you spit out, tell me! How dare you say it?" Shan Yicheng smiled and said: "My dear, if you tell me not to speak, I will not speak, but when you were young, if you told our brother Lu not to vomit, he would definitely vomit!" When these famous heroes arrived here, they all seemed to have forgotten their identities, and they could say anything. Laugh, laugh, laugh non-stop. In the midst of these coquettish laughter and the sounds of death, a person suddenly strode out from behind the bead curtain. There was no fire on him, but the light of the fire was dazzling. All the laughter stopped immediately, but the mouths that were laughing couldn't close together, as if someone had suddenly strangled their throats. "Multi-armed bear" Xiong Xiong stared like marbles, said: "You..." Shan Yicheng's head was beaded with sweat, and he said, "How could it be..." Sun Yulong tried desperately to put on a smile, and said, "Here?" "Why are you here?" It took three people to say these six short words, and it seemed that it took all the strength of the whole body. Baoyu smiled slightly and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?" Shan Yicheng wiped his sweat desperately and said, "Okay...very good..." Sun Yulong laughed forcefully and said, "Excellent." Xiong Xiong stood up suddenly, grinning and said: "It's not good at all." "BMW Sharpshooter" Lu Yun had already pushed the girl away, walked to Baoyu's side, and said with a red face, "Hero Fang, how are you?" Aunt Wang said with a smile: "At the Mount Tai meeting, his skills beat all the heroes in the world, and he swung his sword lightly, and his reputation shook the Kyushu... How can Fang Daxia be bad, he is really good... very good..." There was a slight pause in his voice, and he said again: "It turns out that you all recognize each other, and that's even better... Children, why are you staring, get up and let Daxia Fang sit down!" Baoyu smiled and said, "Don't say hello, auntie..." He glanced around, stared straight at Lu Yun, and said, "I want to borrow a word from Great Xia Lu, brother Lu..." Lu Yun hurriedly said: "But according to Fang Daxia's orders." Everyone watched the two of them go out, but they were silent... Although some people wanted to speak, they swallowed their words back. But everyone's eyes flickered, but their hearts were clearly turning thoughts. Lu Yun followed Baoyu straight to the flowers outside the door. At this moment, the stars have set, the moon has set, the sky will be bright, and the flowers will be fragrant. Baoyu stopped and said with a smile, "Brother Lu..." Lu Yundao: "Fang Daxia wants to ask me where I am going?" Baoyu said, "If brother Lu refuses to say it, then that's all." Lu Yun let out a long sigh, and said: "To be honest, Hero Fang, these days, I have suffered a lot. I was tricked out with a letter and then placed under house arrest." Baoyu frowned and said, "House arrest?" Lu Yun sighed: "The eight of us were all imprisoned in a dark dungeon. With the strength of the eight of us, we tried our best, but we couldn't get out." Baoyu said: "With eight such heroes, how could..." Lu Yun smiled wryly and said, "I haven't seen how other people were captured, I'll tell you..." With a long sigh, he continued: "After receiving the letter, I rushed to the place mentioned in the letter and met..." Baoyu couldn't help but said, "Fire Demon God?" Lu Yundao: "It's not him. He's a crippled old man. His identity is unknown. He can't move his body anymore. But... the next time I see him, I will be fascinated. When I wake up, I'm already in the dungeon." Baoyu was moved and said: "The disabled old man? Who is he? From this point of view, the story of Xiong Daxia, Shan Daxia and others being ambush is not the same as that of Brother Lu?" Lu Yundao: "It's basically the same." Baoyu said: "But what kind of letter is that? It can make you hurry up without asking why..." When he saw Lu Yun's face suddenly showing shame and embarrassment, he immediately stopped talking. Lu Yun also lowered his head, and murmured: "That letter...that letter..." Baoyu smiled and said, "That letter is irrelevant, so let's not talk about it." Lu Yundao: "Fang Daxia is so considerate, I am really grateful, but..." He raised his head suddenly and said loudly: "But since Fang Daxia is like this, I have to say it even more. When I was a teenager, I once did something to shame my friends, and the letter threatened me with this, and I was only allowed to go there in the next quarter. " Baoyu was moved and said: "It's actually like this...Xiong Daxia and others, I think it's the same. I don't think these people are so powerful, they can reveal all the private things of the eight people." Lu Yun was silent for a while, then smiled wryly, "Although I don't have much privacy, some people..." Although he kept silent, the implication was that Shan Yicheng, Sun Yulong and others had a lot of secrets, and it would not be difficult to find out. Baoyu himself understood, nodded and smiled bitterly, "That's right." After a while, he suddenly asked again: "What does that skinny old man look like?" Lu Yun pondered: "Under the dim light, the old man really looks like a zombie. Although his face is covered by a white cloth, as long as the skin is exposed, there are overlapping scars, as if scorched by a raging fire. It looks like it was scalded by boiling water, and after one glance, people dare not look at it again." Baoyu pondered for a while, then lost his voice and said, "Yes, it must be him!" Lu Yun suddenly said: "Fang Daxia already guessed it?" Baoyu said: "This old man must be the chief ally of Greenwood Road in the past, that is, the master of Qingmu Palace. His scars all over his body, presumably he was injured by Bai Shuiniang...Mr. Mu Lang asked for medicine for his father but failed, so this Although the old man was able to barely save his life, his injuries have not recovered to this day." Lu Yun lost his voice and said, "Bai Shui Niang is so vicious!" Baoyu smiled bitterly and said, "The poison of the method can be said to be unparalleled in the world." Thinking that I am going to learn about the unparalleled vicious methods of this world, I can't help but feel cold, but I smiled again and asked in an instant: "I don't know how the turtle hero Yu Chuan came to this place?" Lu Yundao: "Brother Yu insisted on rushing home. I didn't want to come here at first, but... alas! My determination is still not strong, so I was dragged here by them." Baoyu said: "It's okay for a young man to be flirtatious and act on every occasion, but... if brother Lu really wants to use that 'series of forty-eight guns' as a money for laughing, my younger brother will be worthless on behalf of brother Lu." Lu Yun sighed: "I don't know this, but since I have been forced to agree, how can I break my promise to women?" He suddenly smiled again, and continued: "Fortunately, although this 'chain of forty-eight spears' is not as wonderful as a hero's swordsmanship, it is not a trick after all. If she wants to learn it in just one or two hours, it is definitely not a skill. Easy." After hearing what he said, Baoyu couldn't persuade him any more—one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. No matter who met this kind of thing, there was nothing he could do. He had no choice but to smile wryly, and said: "Since that's the case, I only wish Brother Lu..." Suddenly someone said loudly: "Have you finished your private conversation?" The "multi-armed bear" Xiong Xiong has strode forward following the voice. Lu Yun looked at Baoyu and said, "Does Hero Fang have any orders?" Baoyu said, "No more." Xiong Xiong said with a smile: "Brother, I have a few words of my own that I want to chat with Fang Daxia." Lu Yundao: "In that case, I will take my leave." He left in a hurry, and Baoyu sighed with a smile: "It seems that Brother Lu is a little tempted today." Xiong Xiong said with a smile: "After holding back in that dark place for so long, who doesn't want to come out to vent? It's just that this brother Lu is young and tender, and he wants to die in his heart, but he just says he doesn't want it." Baoyu smiled slightly and said, "I don't know what to teach, brother Xiong?" Xiong Xiong said: "Brother, I really don't understand something, so I want to ask for advice." Baoyu said: "What Brother Xiong doesn't understand, my younger brother may not understand either." Xiong Xiong said: "Thinking that the Fire Demon God spent a lot of effort to earn me, but he only locked me up for a few days, and then let me go for nothing. He is not a madman, why would he do this to harm others and benefit himself? A thankless thing?" Baoyu said: "This... my younger brother understands." Xiong Xiong said: "That's why brother came to ask for advice." Baoyu said: "It's just because the Fire Demon God wanted to make my younger brother innocent, and everyone in the world think that my younger brother is just a liar, but you have fought against my younger brother. He was afraid that you would come out to testify for my younger brother. That's why he tricked everyone away, but now that my younger brother has been cleared of his grievances, he will naturally let everyone go." Xiong Xiong said with a smile: "At least this person still has some humanity, he didn't kill us." Baoyu said: "As Brother Xiong said, he will not do things that harm others and benefit himself. If he kills you, it will not benefit you, but if you let you go, maybe you will be grateful to him .” Xiong Xiong said: "If he really wants us to be grateful to him, he is really dreaming. He let us go, just because he knows that some of these people are not convinced by you, and come to trouble you... Hehe! As long as someone in the world comes to trouble you, he must be very happy." Baoyu smiled and frowned and said, "Oh? Is this really the case?" Xiong Xiong said: "Of course there are, brothers know that there are two ignorant boys who always think that you just beat them by luck, and always want to ask you to make a gesture." Baoyu said: "Thank you, Brother Xiong, for your guidance, little brother..." Xiong Xiong hurriedly said: "Don't thank me either, if I hadn't always looked down upon these two boys, I wouldn't have told you about this, it's the truth." Baoyu laughed and said, "Brother Xiong is really straightforward." Xiong Xiong said: "Although these two people are thieves, their martial arts are unambiguous, especially during the period when we were locked in a dark prison, the two of them always hid in the corner and yelled, and sometimes they laughed, as if they were proud of themselves. Very much. I didn't bother to listen to what they said, but I overheard it." Baoyu couldn't help asking, "What are they talking about?" Xiong Xiong said: "It turns out that these two people have similar tastes, and they studied martial arts together, and they actually researched some ghost skills. Presumably, they have already planned to use this to deal with you." Baoyu said: "When two people are of the same heart, their strength can cut through gold. If the two of them can really work together and create some new realms for martial arts, it will be a great blessing in the martial arts world." Xiong Xiong curled his lips and said: "What new realm, left and right are just some harmful conspiracy! Brother Fang, although you are not afraid, you have to be on guard." Baoyu said, "Please give me more advice." Xiong Xiong said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you who these two boys are, he..." Baoyu laughed and said, "These two are accurate. If Brother Xiong doesn't say anything, my younger brother will know." Xiong Xiong said: "Oh... tell me and listen." Baoyu said: "Sun Yulong in Macheng, Shan Yicheng in Jiujiang." Xiong Xiong clapped his hands and said, "That's right, it's these two bastards." There was a slight pause, and he continued: "Speaking of these two people, they really have one or two tricks that are hard to resist, otherwise these two people might have already had their heads moved." Baoyu laughed and said, "My younger brother has also learned the unique and secret skills of the two of them. In terms of the pungent and vicious moves, Sun Yulong's 'Wu Gang chops the laurel' is rare in the world." Xiong Xiong said: "This guy relied on this trick 'Wu Gang Chop Gui'. I don't know how many legs of famous heroes have been broken... There are two curse words in the Jianghu, brother Fang must know."
